Snow in New York


So I am back from my trip to New York! It was fabulously fun and very snowy. I went for a big press event that had editors from all the major magazines, tv producers from shows like Ellen, Rachael Ray, Oprah, etc. and Celebrities! But wouldn't you know it, the event was canceled because of all the snow. But lucky for me I was already in the city and so I just had to make do at H&M, Broadway, Time Square, Rockefeller Center, Etc.

My Friend Dianna took a bus up from DC (for $3...crazy!) and so we braved the cold weather together. It ended up being a very fun trip and a much needed break. And lucky for me the weather cleared up just in time for me to catch my flight home. On the day when 95% of flights out of JFK were canceled my flight took off.....what luck! It was great fun but I missed Ben and the boys so I was happy to come home.


(Look at the fun lighting at the W Hotel)

I know how much you guys love a food report, so my two favorites were Amma and PrimeBurger. Amma is an Indian Restaurant and since it was Restaurant Week we got the full treatment for a great price. Salad, 2 appetizers (shrimp with some yummy sauce and chicken patte), dinner (chicken korma) and desert (mango cheesecake...yum!) Very fun and a great ambiance! And PrimeBurger is a place that has been unchanged for the last $45 years. We went for breakfast and I had a veggie omlet and some fresh OJ. And as you can see from the pictures they have unique seating. And apparently it is a favorite of Sarah Jessica Parker (she was on Oprah eating at PrimeBurger)(us at PrimeBurger..notice the good trays)

The snow was not that bad and it wasn't even as cold as you might think. We had great access to the subway system and between Dianna and myself we made it around the town just fine.




And the Broadway play we saw was called "In The Heights" (this is a picture of the set...looks kind of real) It was VERY clean and a great story...and even funny. I would recommend seeing it if you're in town.
